What happen when the yield to maturity on a bond is greater than the coupon rate?
When the yield of a bond exceeds it coupon rate, the price will be below 'par' which is usually $100.
Does the yield to maturity on a premium bond exceed the bond's coupon rate?
No, the yield to maturity (YTM) on a premium bond does not exceed the bond's coupon rate. A premium bond is sold for more than its face value, which means the YTM will be lower than the coupon rate because the investor will receive the fixed coupon payments but will incur a loss when the bond matures and is redeemed at face value. Thus, the YTM reflects this lower return compared to the coupon rate.
If you have a 10 percent coupon bond with 19 years left to maturity the bonds make annual payments and currently sells for 1102.05 what is the YTM?
A bond that pays 1 coupon(s) of 10% per year, that has a market value of $1,102.05, and that matures in 19 years will have a yield to maturity of 8.87%. What does it mean? Well, bond investors don't just buy only newly issued bonds (on the primary market) but can also buy previously issued bonds from other investors (on the secondary market). Depending on whether a bond on the secondary market is bought at a discount or premium, the actual rate of return can be greater or lower than the quoted annual coupon rate. This is why bond investors need to look at YTM, which measures the bond's yield from the day the investor buys it to the day it expires, when the principal is paid to the bondholder.

Can you compute the price of a 5-year zero coupon bond from 2 5 year coupon bonds?
If the 2 5 years are exactly the same with the exception of having coupons (same lender, same claims, same everything) then yes you should be able to. The trick is finding the right yield curve and discounting everything back to the present value. The coupons can be treated as mini zero-coupon bonds in their own right.
Why is the yield to maturity (YTM) of a discount bond greater than the bond's current yield?
The yield to maturity (YTM) of a discount bond is greater than the bond's current yield because the YTM takes into account the total return an investor would receive if they hold the bond until maturity, including the capital gain from buying the bond at a discount. The current yield only considers the annual interest payments relative to the bond's current price, without factoring in the potential gain from the bond reaching its full face value at maturity.
If a bond with face value of 1100 and a coupon rate of 8 is selling at a price of 970 is the bond's yield to maturity more or less than 8 and what is the current yield?
When a bond sells at a discount, the yield is higher than the coupon rate. Your income is 1,100 x 8% = 88. You invested 970. 88/970 = 9.07% yield.

What is usually a better investment- a coupon bond or discount bond?
Coupon bond= pay $A now. receive future periodic coupon and at maturity receive face value Discount bond= pay $B now. receive nothing until maturity where you receive face value. B is always less than A. That is, you pay less upfront investing in Discount Bond compared to Coupon Bond. But, you don't receive periodic cash flow by investing in Discount Bond. So clearly which is better depends on how much money you have at present and your expectation of future interest rate (going up or down). If you expect interest rate/yield to go down in the future, then clearly you don't want to be sitting on a pile of money and earn meager interest on it. This is called re-investment risk. You risk having unfavorable interest rate to re-invest the cash flow (coupon) you'll get in future. In this case, locking in the current interest rate/yield by buying discount bond is preferable. The same logic apply if you expect interest rate/yield is going to rise, in which case buying a coupon bond is preferable since you can re-invest the cash flow (coupon) you'll get in future at a higher rate. You can't do so with Discount Bond coz you receive no payment and the interest/yield is locked.
What are the different types of yields on bonds?
The different types of yields on bonds include current yield, yield to maturity, yield to call, and yield to worst. Current yield is the annual interest payment divided by the bond's current price. Yield to maturity is the total return anticipated on a bond if held until it matures. Yield to call is the yield calculation if a bond is called by the issuer before it matures. Yield to worst is the lowest potential yield that can be received on the bond.
What is book yield?
The "book yield" is a measure of a bond's recurring realized investment income that combines both the bond's coupon return plus its amortization. It is defined as the bond's Internal Rate of Return (IRR) of all its cash flows. The following example illustrates the concept of book yield. A $100 par bond having a 5% coupon to be paid annually at year end is purchased for a $95 purchase price at the beginning of the year. The bond is set to mature in three years. In this example, the book yield will be greater than the 5% coupon on the discount bond as the investor will receive both the 5% coupon and the difference between purchase price and maturity value (an additional $5). The book yield at purchase will be 6.90%, which is the internal rate of return or IRR of the cash flows. The $5 discount is amortized into income over the life of the bond and the book value of the bond is increased until it reaches its par value of $100 at maturity.
